*Westport Land Conservation Trust and The Trustees partner to host the
annual Super Bowl Walk*



*Westport, Massachusetts – *On Super Bowl Sunday, February 2, 2020,
starting at 11:00 am, the Westport Land Conservation Trust (WLCT) and The
Trustees will be hosting their annual Super Bowl Walk, a hike that extends
from the Slocums River in Dartmouth to the Westport River in Westport.



Conservation efforts in the area make it possible to do this 6+ mile hike.
Here’s your chance to experience sections of trail not normally open to the
public--and get a little fresh air before watching the Super Bowl! For a
special treat, the Westport Rivers Winery will be opening its doors to
greet hikers at the end of the walk with discounted wine and beer by the
glass for $7 and 20% off all take home wine for hikers, whether it is one
bottle or many.



The walk will begin at 11 a.m. at the Slocums River Reserve parking area
across from 253 Horseneck Road in Dartmouth, about 1.4 miles south of
Russells Mills Village. Parking for this program is provided thanks to
Sylvan Nursery. *NO OVERFLOW PARKING* is allowed. Those interested in
participating in the walk *MUST* register in advance. Please register
online at www.westportlandtrust.org. A firm limit of 150 hikers has been
set for the Super Bowl Walk.

Thanks to Whaling City Transit, transportation will be provided from the
winery back to your car with plenty of time to get home to watch the big
game. Be aware that trails will be icy, snow covered, or muddy. Proper
*WATERPROOF* footwear is required and dogs will not be permitted for this
walk. A $10 donation per person is suggested for this walk.



A special thanks this year to the many trail volunteers and private
landowners who make this program possible year-in and year-out. For more
information on the walk, please email Brendan at westportlandtrust.org. If the
weather is questionable, cancellation information will be disseminated 24
hours in advance of the walk. Please visit www.westportlandtrust.org prior
to the walk for cancellation information.
